In this episode of TFiR Insights, I invited Chris Patterson, Product Manager, GitHub Actions - GitHub to join us and talk about how GitHub is approaching DevOps. We touched upon a wide range of topics which are listed below:

• Patterson talked about his role at GitHub as the lead product manager for GitHub actions.
• What exactly are GitHub Actions and how does it add value to the workflow or pipeline of a developer.
• Patterson shares some of the examples of how developers are using GitHub actions.
• We have started to hear a lot about GitOps, how do GitHub Actions help people leverage that?
• At the end of 2020, GitHub hosted its annual Universe event, Patterson discussed the focus of the event and some of the major announcements made there.
• We also discussed how security is becoming a serious topic and what role CD plays in making security part of the developer pipeline.
• I probed Patterson to hear his views on the emergence of SREs and what role they will be playing in the future.
• GitHub is more than just sharing code, it’s also about sharing experience and expertise. How do GitHub Actions enable that interaction between developers?

GitHub is a developer company. We make it easier for developers to be developers: to work together, to solve challenging problems, to create the world’s most important technologies. We foster a collaborative community that can come together—as individuals and in teams—to create the future of software and make a difference in the world.
